Overview
"This thesis proposes an online platform, called PlaceBase, that provides a space for community activists [in Boston] to reach out to community members with information and questions, installing the platform within communities for easy participation. Response data is then archived and the community may analyze that data in different ways, easily putting together reports to hold larger development or planning entities accountable for community wants and needs. This thesis outlines how the planned innovation will help low-income individuals voice their needs and community organizations to advocate for those needs." --Abstract.
